Going into this week's chart I was expecting some big changes as our number one seemed to lose all steam this week.
Instead that's not what I got.
Leaving the top ten this week was "Mama" by Jonas Blue feat. William Singe.
At number one for a thirteenth week (quite unexpectedly) was "Despacito (Remix)" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber. Just how much longer it can remain at number one is in question with the loss of momentum it has suffered and with Pink's new single "What About Us?" to hit the chart next week, it's time at number one could be be numbered (thank goodness)
It's another week at number 2 for Imagine Dragons with "Thunder'. I don't see this reaching top spot though
The surprise hit though is "Glorious' by Macklemore feat. Skylar Gray which climbed two places to number 3. It could very well be a challenger for number 1 if those sales numbers improve.
At number 4 is Calvin Harris feat. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry and Big Sean with "Feels" and its feeling a one place drop this week.
Liam Payne and Quavo's "Strip That Down" lives up to its name by stripping down to number 5. Hasn't been a good week for Liam with his song with Zedd "Get Low" really struggling for any kind of traction.
At number six is "Wild Thoughts" by DJ Khaled feat. Rihanna and Bryson Tiller because quite frankly a lot of the moment has gone out of it. Sales are doing nothing for it right now.
A song that has been doing well in the USA and the United Kingdom. "Unforgettable" by French Montana feat. Swae Lee climbs into the top 10 at number 7, up four places from last week. I expect this song to be top 5 next week actually.
Kesha's "Praying" slides to number 8, it should get a big boost off the release of the album "Rainbow" so I expect "Praying" will stay in the top 10
Because people can't get enough of Uncle Kracker with no personality, Sam Hunt climbed one place to number 9 with 'Body Like A Back Road"
"Slow Hands" by Niall Horan rounds out the top 10 at number 10 and looks like it may exit the top ten next week with Pink's likely top 10 arrival.
Two new entries this week, the highest of them being "Mi Gente" by J Balvin and Willy Williams at number 38, clearly trying to capitalise on the Spanish/Latin music boom going on right now courtesy of "Despacito"
The other a dance track from Axwell and Ingrosso entitled "More than You Know" at 48
That saw two songs that returned last week exit again this week with "It Ain't Me" by Kygo and Selena Gomez and "Signs" by Drake leave the chart.
The largest gain of the week belonged to "Back to You" by Louis Tomlinson feat. Bebe Rexha and Digital Farm Animals from 20 to 13. Dua Lipa's "New Rules" entered the top 20 with a climb of 6 places from number 26 last week.
No majorly big losers this week with the biggest being "Galway Girl" by Ed Sheeran dropping from 36 to 47.
The biggest surprise of the week is that neither of Camila Cabello's new songs that being "Havana" and "OMG" entered the ARIA top 50,
We could have a big showdown for number one next week. Will "What about Us?" knock off "Despacito (Remix)"? We'll see but if anyone can knock off "Despacito" for that number one spot in Australia, it's got to be Pink.
